Translations
"When it was whole, it was worthless for any skilled work—how much less now, after fire has consumed it and left it charred, is it fit for anything at all!"
"When it was whole it could not be used for any craft—how much less, now that the fire has devoured it and it is charred, will it serve for any craft!"
Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?
Even when it was whole, it could not be made useful. How much less can it ever be useful when the fire has consumed it and charred it!
